the meme has been beaten into the fucking ground but I still think it's nice that whenever I get subway I think of @Derachi

I remember talking to Derachi about Subway once, and mentioning how mid I found American Subway. He seemed to think Canadian Subway was superior, so I'm admittedly pretty curious to see whether that checks out.

Side note, but did you know Subway apparently has churros now? Friend of mine recently picked one up, and he said it was the worst churro he's ever had.
 
As a Spaniard, I find it really funny that Subway sells "churros" in the US and Canada. I understand that the US churro (which comes from the Mexican churro) is different to what we have here but the churro craze in the US is hilarious.

Ever since I heard about the Ireland "Subway is cake" tax I've wondered how different regions stack up

It brings me memories of a churro we got last year at a street fair in my gf's city... God it was so bad, and there was so much line to get water in the event... We had that awful taste in our mouths for so long.... Ew

When done right, a delicious baked stick of cinnamony goodness can really brighten up someone's day. As a matter of fact, I'm kinda craving one right now. I'm not desperate enough to hit up Subway, though. What's the Spanish churro like? I don't think I've ever had one, unfortunately. I'd definitely be interested.

I had to Google this. It's wild how Ireland is out there having cake for lunch and dinner. No need for dessert after a sub, I guess.

Yeah, I could've told the dude not to expect much. 🥲 "Subway churro" doesn't exactly inspire confidence...

It happens to me with belgian waffles all the time. They smell like what I imagine heaven smells like. They taste like disappointment.

Believe it or not, this is another food that she often craves but actually doesn't like lol. It's very funny for someone like me who is the opposite of a picky eater being with someone who (often due to their ADD and hypersensitivity) just cannot eat certain foods due to taste, texture or consistency. Lots of nudging and pointing towards stuff that I know she likes.

That's what you think! And that's what i was thinking about my wife and me too.

But sometimes, there's tries of non-verbal communication. To a mixed degree of success.

Don't worry, we're very good at it and reserve non-verbal communication to non-churro-related topics

I cannot hear the word "churro" and not think of that weird series of Microsoft ads with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld

Help

The pastry itself is a bit different to the Mexican one -it's flour, hot water and salt whereas I believe Mexican churros have eggs, making it closer to choux pastry, but fried- and they are often served plain with hot chocolate on the side to dunk them in, whereas Mexican churros are covered in cinnamon sugar, or with different fillings (there are churrerias in Spain that do them with fillings, but they tend to be in touristy spots)

It gets more complicated because many places in Spain also serve "porras" which are (imo) the superior churro. A thicker dough, which when done right is both crispy and a little chewy, and a perfect vehicle for dunking it in chocolate. In the South of Spain, most places only serve these types of churros, and they're the ones I grew up with (see below)

There's another Spanish (catalan, actually) fried pastry that I'm surprised hasn't become a global craze like the churro has: the "xuxo" (read: "choo-cho") which is basically a deep-fried dough (kind of between a donut and a brioche), covered in sugar, and filled with pastry cream.

I can't blame her. They smell so, so good.
 
All this talk made me wanna go and eat Crêpe.

One filled with just sugar and cinnamon, and one filled with likely the best Crêpe filling ever:
